Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Jimmy Deenihan TD, today (Friday, May 24th), announced the awarding of grant funding to thirty-four local authorities under the Department’s Structures at Risk Fund 2013.

This funding is allocated to enable conservation works to forty-five heritage structures in both private and public ownership deemed to be at significant risk of deterioration and which are protected under the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2012.

Minister Deenihan commented:

“I am pleased to announce this funding to help support owners and occupiers of protected structures again in 2013 through my Department’s Structures at Risk Fund. Whilst the funding for built heritage is severely limited due to current budgetary constraints, the Structures at Risk Fund is a targeted investment in the most vulnerable aspects of our built heritage and will support some of Ireland’s most significant architectural, cultural, archaeological and historic buildings.”

This scheme, which has been in operation since 2011, has encouraged regeneration and reuse of heritage properties and helped to secure the preservation of protected structures which may otherwise have been lost. Including the properties to be supported in 2013 announced today, since the introduction of the scheme over 115 structures have secured funding.
